Ethel Cain has announced Australian tour dates for 2026 as part of the Willoughby Tucker Forever tour.
Goth fans and yearners unite, because Ethel Cain is bringing her Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour to Australia, and we won’t have to wait long.
Ethel Cain will be returning to Australia in February 2026, with a set of five shows across Australia. That’s right, it’s not just the East coast this time! Melbourne in particular have won out, and will be graced with two shows at it’s prestigious Palais Theatre.
The Florida raised singer, — real name Hayden Anhedönia — last visited Australia in 2023 for Vivid, promoting her debut album The Preacher’s Daughter. The album was a surprise breakthrough from the artist, with her song ‘American Teenager’ going viral, and appearing on former US President Obama’s top songs of the year.
The singer just released her third LP, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You last week. The album is a gorgeous blend of folk, slowcore, ambient and drone, and serves as the final chapter in Ethel Cain’s story.

After releasing her new album, the singer shared a statement on social media, writing:
“Somehow it’s harder to believe that this one is finally out than it was with Preacher’s Daughter. What I initially mistook for hating this record was actually realising that this record still resonates a lot deeper with me than Preacher’s Daughter did by the time it came out. It still feels raw and too close to home. I realised I don’t hate this record, I’m just still overwhelmed by how real it feels. This is the scariest record I think i’ve ever made,” the singer shared.
